Explanation why --disable-rpath-hack is needed:
When building on pistachio_x86 $(LDFLAGS) contains '-L[...]/l4/lib'
which will be transformed by autoconf to '-rpath [...]/l4/lib'.
Now the problem at hand is that we pretend to be FreeBSD when we are
actually not. So autoconf assumes it is valid to use '-path' when it
is actually not.
Also we use zlib for (de)compressing gzipped streams/files instead of
calling gzip as this currently somewhat buggy.
This patch adds lighttpd as noux package. However, we do not use the
original build system but rather compile lighttpd directly from the
Genode build system. This is needed because we want to statically link
lighttpd modules into the binary. This mode is (somehow) supported by
the SConscript that comes with lighttpd. However, the GNU build scripts
do not expose this feature.
The port of lighttpd at 'ports/src/app/lighttpd' executes the web server
directly (w/o using Noux). It is accompanied by the lighttpd.run script.
At the current stage, lighttpd is starting up but fails because of an
unsupport fcntl call.
With this patch the 'GNU Project Debugger' (GDB) can be built for Noux.
The included run script connects GDB and GDB monitor via a cross-link
terminal and allows interactive source-level debugging of the GDB monitor
test application on Genode.
Fixes#280.
This patch adds a new "terminal" file system type to Noux, which allows to
create a "character device" file that is connected to a Genode 'Terminal'
service.
The 'Terminal' session created by the file system has the label
"noux(terminal_fs)" to distinguish it from the 'Terminal' session
created by Noux itself.
Fixes#244.
Noux/net adds network functionality to noux. Currently most basic
network related system calls including 'accept', 'bind', 'connect',
'listen', 'recv', 'send', 'shutdown', and 'socket' are implemented by
wrapping lwip's network functions.
At the moment noux/net is rarely usable, though it is possible to
use netcat to send a message to a netcat server which listen on a
given port in noux/net.
This patch introduces support for stacked file systems alongside new
glue for accessing file-system implementations provided via Genode's
new file-system-session interface.
Using stacked file systems, an arbitrary number of file systems (such
as tar archives or file systems implemented as separate Genode
components) can be composed to form one merged virtual file system.
An example is given via the 'ports/run/noux_bash.run' script. This run
script creates a virtual file system out of multiple tar archives each
containing the content of a particular GNU package. In addition, one
'ram_fs' is mounted, which enables Noux to perform write operations.
This way, the shell output can be redirected to a file, or files can
be saved in VIM.
Fixes#103.
This patch allows to configure the amount of RAM that GDB monitor should
preserve for itself. The configuration syntax looks as follows:
<start name="gdb_monitor">
<resource name="RAM" quantum="1G"/>
<config>
<target name="noux">
<preserve name="RAM" quantum="2M"/>
...
</config>
</start>
Fixes#190.
The old variant provided 8K capability slots to all processes on core,
which increased binaries by 180 KB for the static allocator. I reduced it
to 4K capabilities stay under 100 KB overhead for the allocator.
Anyway, pci_drv and pl11x_drv need more RAM quota now: 2M for pl11x_drv
and 1M for pci_drv.
The 'noux_bash.run' script has become able to present the user with an
interactive bash shell for executing various coreutils programs. It is
still pretty limited, i.e., the environment is not correctly passed to
child processes and pipes are not supported. But bash and coreutils are
operational.
This patch removes the hardcoded parent cap for the new child by
introducing a facility called 'poke' similar to copy-to-user. This
change makes the fork mechanism kernel-agnostic. The 'noux_fork'
test works on L4/Fiasco, OKL4, NOVA, Fiasco.OC, and L4ka::Pistachio.
Linux is not supported yet.
The following features are tested (currently on Fiasco.OC only):
- breakpoint in 'main()'
- breakpoint in a shared library function
- stack trace when not in a syscall
- thread info
- single stepping
- handling of segmention fault exception
- stack trace when in a syscall
This patch fixes#105.
The new 'gdb_monitor_interactive.run' script extends the original
'gdb_monitor.run' script with a startup sequence that automates the
initial break-in at the main function of a dynamically linked binary.
